1. DESCRIPTION
The brake system consists of single disc brake assembly on each main landing gear wheel, master cylin-
der for each rudder pedal, hydraulic fluid reservoir, parking brake, and associated hydraulic plumbing.
Serials 1593 & subs, 1005 thru 1592 after SB2X-32-14: A brake temperature indicator is installed on each
brake caliper piston housing. The indicator turns black if overheating occurs.
Serials 2016 & subs w/ Perspective Avionics: A brake temperature sensor is installed on each brake
assembly. Brake temperature annunciations are displayed on the MFD. A caution annunciation occurs
when brake temperature is between 270°F (132°C) and 293° F (145°C). A warning annunciation occurs
when brake temperature exceeds 293°F (145°C). 28 VDC is supplied through the ENG INST circuit
breaker on the Main Bus 2.
The hydraulically operated brakes are individually activated by floor mounted toe pedals located at both
pilot stations. The master cylinders are located forward of the pilot's rudder pedals. The hydraulic fluid res-
ervoir is located in the engine compartment on the upper RH side of the firewall.
Serials 1005 thru 2240 before SB2X-32-21: The reservoir is serviced with MIL-H-5606 hydraulic fluid.
Serials 1005 thru 2240 after SB2X-32-21, 2241 & subs: The reservoir is serviced with MIL-PRF-87257
hydraulic fluid.
For disassembly/assembly of brake master cylinder refer to the manufacturer's approved Instructions For
Continued Airworthiness.
A parking brake mechanism holds induced hydraulic pressure on the disc brakes for parking. The parking
brake system consists of a parking brake valve, control cable with knob, and associated hydraulic plumb-
ing. The parking brake valve is mounted adjacent to the firewall on the LH side of the outboard console rib.
Serials 1005 thru 2015, 2016 & subs w/o Perspective Avionics: The parking brake control cable knob is
mounted to the LH side of the mid console, adjacent to the alternate air controls.
Serials 2016 & subs w/ Perspective Avionics: The parking brake control cable handle is mounted to the LH
kick plate. A position sensor, mounted adjacent to the parking brake valve actuation arm, sends position
data to the MFD via the GEA 71 engine airframe unit. An alert indicates in the CAS window of the MFD
when the parking brake is engaged.
